    In 2020, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, certain restrictions were introduced in Georgia, which significantly affected the learning process, and distance learning (DL) was introduced throughout the country. This has created significant problems for both students and teachers.

    Dependence on Russia – statistically critical goods
    (Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2022) Dzebisauri, Lia
    Georgia's highest economic dependence on Russia and a high concentration of the market is threatening, as Russia has repeatedly used economic leverage against Georgia and other countries since the collapse of the Soviet Union. As historical tendency of Georgia’s trade shows that Russian market is extremely attractive for Georgian exporters and importers with the view of prices of products and logistical issues. But at the same time it’s highly risky from the perspective of sustainability of partnerships. For example, in 2006 Russia first cut off natural gas and electricity supplies to Georgia, then virtually banned the export of products from Georgia to Russia. In this abstract two critical goods are analyzed for Georgia’s exports and imports such as wine and wheat by reviewing the top producers and consumers of the given products in the world. According to the official statistics, at the end of 2021 Russia ranked 1st place in export of Georgian wine with the share of 54.7% in total export of wine, while The share of the top 10 countries amounted to 92.6% of the total wine export. Observing the dynamics of imports of wheat from Russia to Georgia throughout the last year (2021) reveals that imports of wheat from Russia (93.7%) has been the main source of imported wheat by a considerable margin. Therefore, it is extremely important to know the level of dependence of the Georgian economy on Russia and the tendency to strengthen resilience in the face of possible threats.

    (Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2022) Mindorashvili, Marine; Dzebisauri, Lia
    The development of sector accounts within the system of national accounts is the high on the Development Strategy of the National System of Official Statistics of Georgia and the global policy agenda as well. The System of National Accounts (SNA) is a comprehensive, consistent and flexible set of macroeconomic accounts to meet the needs of government, policy-makers, decisionstakers and private-sector analysts. National accounts provide information to analyze the structure of economies and their development over time. SNA promotes the integration of economic and related statistics in a system that is based on consistent economic and statistical concepts and methods. As such, it allows domestic and international comparative analysis, helps economists to measure the level of economic development and the rate of economic growth, the change in consumption, saving, investment, debts and wealth for not only the total economy but also each of its institutional sectors. Institutional sector accounts present a complete and consistent set of data for sectors, which combine institutional units with broadly similar characteristics and behavior. The role of sector accounts is extremely important in constructing the comprehensive system of national accounts of any countries. As Georgian statistics is on its starting point to develop sector accounts, current abstract emphasizes the needs of sharing the best practice of the EU countries in compilation of sector accounts and making comprehensive analysis. Furthermore, progressive alignment of the statistical system of Georgia with the European Statistical System is defined by the EU-Georgia Association Agreement in order to ensure integrity and comparability of official statistics at the global level.
